General
With the KNX retransmitter you can extend the radio range of a transmitter
from the B-Tronic range of control units. Under optimum conditions, the range
can be doubled. The radio signal range of the transmitter can be extended to a
maximum of five times that of the original.
Explanation of pictograms
CAUTION CAUTION indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in in-
jury.
ATTENTION ATTENTION indicates measures that must
be taken to avoid damage to property.
Denotes user tips and other useful in-
formation.
Warranty
Structural modifications and incorrect installation which are not in accordance
with these and our other instructions can result in serious injuries, e.g., crush-
ing of limbs. Therefore, structural modifications may only be carried out with
our prior approval and strictly in accordance with our instructions, particularly
the information contained in these Assembly and Operating Instructions.
Any further processing of the products which does not comply with their inten-
ded use is not permitted.
The end product manufacturer and fitter have to ensure that all the relevant
current statutory, official and, in particular, EMC regulations are adhered to
during utilisation of our products, especially with regard to end product manu-
facture, installation and customer advice.

Safety instructions
General information
•Please keep the instructions safe!
•Only use in dry rooms.
•Only use unmodified original parts from the control unit manufacturer.
•Keep children away from control units.
•Observe all pertinent country-specific regulations.
Caution
•Keep people out of the system’s range of travel.
•If the system is controlled by one or more transmitters,
the system’s range of travel must always be visible during
operation.
Intended use
The KNK retransmitter must only be used to optimise the range of Becker B-
Tronic products and KNX RF products that are compatible with the B-Tronic.
•Please note that radio-controlled systems may not be used in areas with a
high risk of interference (e.g., hospitals, airports).
•The remote control is intended solely for use with equipment and systems
in which malfunctions in the hand-held transmitter or receiver would not
pose any risk to persons, animals or property, or which contain safety
devices to eliminate such risks.
•The operator is not protected from interference from other telecommunic-
ations systems and terminal equipment (e.g., even from radio-controlled
systems which are properly operated in the same frequency range).
•Only connect radio receivers to devices and systems approved by the
manufacturer.
4

•Ensure that the control unit is not installed or operated
close to metal surfaces or magnetic fields.
•Radio-controlled systems transmitting on the same fre-
quency may cause reception interference.
•Note that the range of the radio signal is limited by legis-
lation as well as by design.

Explanation of functions
The device exclusively receives Becker B-Tronic radio signals, records them
temporarily and then retransmits them with a time delay of approx. 0.1 s. The
device comprises one radio receiver and one radio transmitter. It is not neces-
sary to program the VC5801B.

Assembly
Plug the VC5801B into a power socket. When choosing a plug socket, please
note that the VC5801B will optimally extend your radio network by locating it
approximately halfway between the products for which you wish to extend the
radio range.
The VC5801B works best if placed at a higher level, e.g., on a shelf or on top of
a cupboard. Make sure that there are no metal surfaces in close proximity to
the radio repeater such as a steel cabinet or a metal window sill. Such sur-
faces can seriously impair the function of the radio repeater.
When positioning the VC5801B, we recommend using a radio analysis tool to
check that the radio signal is stronger at the receiver to which it is coupled.
S = Transmitter 1 = Extended transmitter range
E = Receiver
Cleaning
Only clean the device with a suitable cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents that may damage the surface.

What to do if...?
Problem Remedy
Receiver is not responding. The VC5801B is outside the radio
range of the transmitter/receiver.
Plug the VC5801B in at another loca-
tion.
The VC5801B has no power supply.
Check that the socket outlet to which
the VC5801B is connected is live.
